The Secret Book of Black Arts (Forthcoming)
Henry T. Williams
Originally published anonymously (and later attributed in catalogues to Henry T. Williams), this is not a sensationalist “grim grimoire,” but a serious, wide-ranging survey of the beliefs, practices, and folklore that once clustered around sorcery, witchcraft, divination, ghosts, and the unseen world.
Across its pages you’ll encounter:
historical accounts of witchcraft and its trials
folk charms, counter-charms, and protections
stories of ghosts and apparitions
discussions of the evil eye
divining rods and other traditional methods of divination
and a fascinating Victorian perspective on the boundaries between superstition, belief, and inquiry.
The book speaks in the confident, curious voice of its age — fearless in its questioning, yet respectful of the power such ideas held in earlier centuries. It is a perfect read for anyone interested in the history of magic, folklore, and the darker corners of Western esotericism.
